kernel: size_t-to-int conversion vulnerability in the filesystem layer

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the Linux kernel's seqfile in the Filesystem layer. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user privilege to gain access to out-of-bound memory, leading to a system crash, leak of internal kernel information and can escalate privileges. The issue results...
